Also mary you aren't gonna read much today cuz you're outside right? Tell me how much you wanna read"

Hmm….I’ll read as much as you do, also by ‘outside’ I meant my uncle’s house.
But I don’t know how much I can read 🤷‍♀️

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[Umm Jackie's pistol is gone, not many ppl were in the room right? Someone mist have taken in
Simon
Jackie
Cornelia
The doctor
Jim fanthorp
My bet is definitely on Jim (hide spoiler)]

DOOO 😭😭

Chapter 13 and 14
(view spoiler)[Ok murder has finally happened and I have a lot of thoughts
The ppl who were in the salon
1. The doctor
2. Jackie
3. Simon
4. Cornelia Robson
5. Jim fanthorp
6. Miss bowers

Now I have HIGH HIGH suspicions on Jim because

1. The J might be his name instead of Jackie's

2. He was the one to look for the pistol, it's very easy to just hide it and say he didn't find it

3. He says he's here for pleasure it might be to meet his wife as said by the maid that the other maid was supposed to marry this guy but linnet found out he was married (Btw the racism is disgusting, how she specified that the wife was a woman of colour bro wtff) (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[someone's dad hating linnets dad
My money is on Andrew Pennington manager guy
Also the pearls are gone, so that also might mean someone in need of money and misses otterbough (the woman who forced poirot the book)
So yeah those are my 2 suspects
1. Jim fanthorp and Andrew Pennington (hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

Hmm…
So, I’ve read until…ch 17
But I want to read everything properly too…
I sped up out of excitement 💀

Anyway…let me be done with certificates and I’ll tell my reasoning
Which is by the way…WILD 😎

Wait..
(view spoiler)[
I’m confused,
With the characters…
Let me update the chracter profiles..
Because I’m a bit confused with names right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

(view spoiler)[Oh nvm Jim isn't the guy with a wife
Fleetwood is (hide spoiler)]

My assumption is
(view spoiler)[
There are three criminals -

1. The person who stole the pearls
2. A serial killer who race is finding
3. The person (or people !) who murdered linnet.

I think these are three DIFFERENT People…
Yes ! That’s what I think ! (hide spoiler)]

Ahahah okkk

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Unknown wrote: "Eager to know what everyone’s alibi was"

Most ppl were just sleeping

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

(view spoiler)[ WHY TF DID NO ONE HEAR THE SHOTTT
Did the murderer use a silencer or smth? Was that even a thing back in the day?
Also the splash, it's probably of the gun
Then btw the pearl is very very expensive, the person who got harmed by linnets father might be broke rn and could have taken it. But we don't know WHO that is. It could be Tim or I think it could be misses otterbough (hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

Umm…this is explained

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

Ahead that is….no spoilers 😉

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Unknown wrote: "Ahead that is….no spoilers 😉"

Okie

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Ok(view spoiler)[smth between Simon and Jackie
Like him comforting Jackie and forgiving her? Definitely sus (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ ok so the pearl thingy is clear now
Not someone in need of money it's van schyler the mad woman (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ the fake ones might be made by Tim allerton because on chapter one his cousin is talking to linnet about it and they gossip so... (hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

You reached quite far…🥲
It’s fine, I’ll try to catch up.

I was sooo busy the whole day because of national day 😩

Aww I see, it's ok!

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

Umm mary I think I'll finish this tdy
When do you plan to? Also which chapter are you on?
My prime suspects are
(view spoiler)[ Jackie (cuz one of her other books has this trope, lure everyone's attention from the OBVIOUS person who did the crime and reveal that it was them all along)
And you're right about Jackie and Simon, smth fishy but I don't think that will be the twist
Tim Allerton - He could have easily made the fakes because in the first scene his cousin is talking to Linner about the pearls and him and his cousin gossip. I don't think he committed murder tho
Jim Fanthorp - PRIME SUSPECT FOR MANY MANY REASONS (hide spoiler)]

Ok here’s the thing..

(view spoiler)[
What if…what if…

The TIME OF THE MURDER IS WRONG ??

I mean…I just realized that.
The time is what makes Simon and Jackie free of suspicion…but what if it’s …wrong ?

My suspicion didn’t deter from these two. I still think, they are involved. They got of too lightly (hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

Anyway..

I can erase some people without ANY doubt.

(view spoiler)[
1.Pennington - too obvious, duh.
2. Jackie - I think as a murderer I can remove her, not as an accomplice though.
3, fleet wood - for some reason, he seems innocent. he MIGHT be the thief though
4. rosalie - I personally believe she can be the thief, or so how involved. But not as a murderer
5. Mrs allerton - idk why, I don’t suspect her at all
(hide spoiler)]

As for the actual murderer…

(view spoiler)[
1. Simon, can’t shake off the feeling.
2. Jim flanthorp - whatever his name is, he was the one at the beginning of the story right ?
Anyway, he’s either the murderer or serial murderer ?

(hide spoiler)]

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

I wish I could properly read this with you, but i might go out today 😩

(view spoiler)[ Ok I don't think the time is wrong unless the doctor is lying. But Simon was physically incapable of walking and shooting but Jackie and Simon are fishy and mightt be involved (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

I can erase some people without ANY doubt.

[spoilers removed]

(view spoiler)[ I agree with Jackie (it's gonna be too obvious? but still a tiny bit possible idk, probably NOT)
Fleetwood - Nah, I think the murderer is definitely someone from the chapter 1 introductions
Rosalie might be the thief, I'm not entirely sure about her (hide spoiler)]

[Elena, Screaming mod ;)]

As for the actual murderer…

[spoilers removed manually by Elena cuz she hates the Glitchreads]


(view spoiler)[ Jim Fanthorp SOOOOO SUS I SWEAR
Nah, not Simon. he can't walk (UNLESS UNLESS Jackie didn't shoot him, wait wait that's a possibility) What if they're working together and Jackie didn't shoot him and one of them took the gun somehow. As for him saying "Linnet kept saying someone hates her family" that might be to throw the police off (hide spoiler)]

Ohh I see, it's because it's very slow (I also find a lot of classics boring)

It is slow at the beginning, I admit that.
But it’s kind of getting exciting….I hope I’m not disappointed though.

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]

And yes…about the ..pearls

(view spoiler)[ Fake pearls !
Who stole the real ones ??
We don’t know yet ! (hide spoiler)]

Or at least, I don’t know yet.
Where are you now ?

[Unknown, Bookish & Jobless]
